Custom House Tavern closing

This is neither a trick nor a treat: After seven years in the Printer's Row neighborhood, Custom House Tavern (500 S. Dearborn St., 312-523-0200) is calling it a career.

The restaurant's last evening of service will be Wednesday, Oct. 31.

Owners Sue and Peter Drohomyrecky delivered the news via press release Tuesday, citing changing neighborhood demographics and the needs of the Hotel Blake (in which Custom House resides) as the reasons for the closing.

The Drohomyreckys still own Maison and Eggy's, both in the burgeoning Lakeshore East area, and executive chef Perry Hendrix and executive pastry chef Erin Mooney will continue to lead both restaurants.
